About Me

I am a life long learner and someone who believes strongly in the power of positive thought and consistent gratitude. I have found a lot of joy in travelling and connecting with new people from all corners of the world. I spent some time living and teaching in mainland China, where I got to travel all over Asia and meet all kinds of rad people.

Since then, I have started my own business which focuses on the psychology and physical benefits of living with less. I work with clients to clear away physical and mental clutter so that they are able to identify a clearer purpose and drive in their lives so they can live more intentionally - and reach those places that they have only been dreaming of.

I value simplicity, connection, sustainability, and time. I believe that we all should have the chance to slow down and enjoy the sweet things in life - including travel and getting the chance to experience beautiful new adventures and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to begin my life coaching course in Seattle next month and I will be visiting that beautiful city for one weekend each month for the next year!

I thought this would be a neat way to experience the city since I will be visiting solo each time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading non-fiction, especially books on business, phycology, spirituality, philosophy, nutrition and neuroscience.

For movies, I am a big fan of period films, as well as a good comedy, drama or thriller.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew to England for a weekend to be the wedding photographer for my best friends wedding!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher at heart, one cool trick I've learned and enjoy sharing with my past students is solving the Rubik's cube! hehe They always are so amazed that I can still do it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, and am big into nutritional foods so I would be so happy to cook dinner for/with my hosts when I am there!
